Druckmann and Straley's role are revealed in an interview with Game Informer and Naughty Dog co-presidents Evan Wells and Christophe Balestra.

"We've asked them to lead the project," Wells said. "They are excited as veterans of the Uncharted franchise to take the responsibility and they're doing great."

The two are no strangers to the Uncharted series as Bruce Straley served as game director for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves along with Neil Druckmann as lead designer and co-writer for the same title.

The candid interview between Naughty Dog and Game Informer reveals a lot more including a tease for another project in the works.

"Well I mentioned earlier the number of products we have going," said Wells. "We definitely have another project on the scale of Uncharted in very early pre-production stages. We have the sizable team that it takes to get something like that off of the ground, but it's got a long runway in front of it. We have a lot of great ideas and some stuff that is already getting everybody jazzed and excited. So, it's a long way off before we can really start talking about it in detail. But no, [Bruce and Neil working on Uncharted] is not going to impact our ability to keep that stirring that pot."
